DWCS 91 Weigh-Ins: Middleweight Exceeds Target Monday
DWCS 91's official weigh-in window took place earlier Monday. We bring you up to speed on what happened on the scales:
DWCS 91, week five of the 10th season of Dana White's Contender Series, is almost here. Tuesday night, 10 more prospects will vie for a UFC contract as the anniversary season of DWCS reaches its midpoint.
Live coverage of DWCS 91 begins Tuesday at 7 pm ET/ 4 pm PT. Stateside, DWCS 91, as well as the entirety of the season, will be seen on Paramount Plus.
Earlier Monday, there was still a bit of work left to be done on the Labor Day holiday before the event itself can be held tomorrow as the fighters booked to appear on DWCS 91 had the battle versus the scale. Up to now, 20 fighters had weighed-in without issue on the day before a Contender Series card.
Christian Echols Misses Target Ahead of DWCS 91
At the DWCS 91 weigh-ins, however, the perfect run of fighters hitting their prescribed mark came to a sudden halt. Christian Echols (189 lbs,) who saw his 191-lb catchweight fight in the LFA get canceled earlier this year after he came in 8 lbs over, weighed-in heavy again on Monday.
He'll cede a portion of his wages to his opponent in his middleweight fight, Martin Kozak (186 lbs,) who came in on-target Monday morning. This was the only weight miss of the day going into DWCS 91 tomorrow night.
